Remember the last time we dabbled in crosshatch? We had so many great submissions! So this week we're counting on you guys to come through again by revisiting one of our favorite Derbies. Use only hatched lines to weave a wondrous world of t-shirt glory! Just follow these rules:

One Color.

No Pop Culture.

No Text.

No halftones, dot, line or other. Just draw 'em!

Line width must be a minimum 2 point. Otherwise we might have to reject it due to "un-printability."

I had like three different color choices for my design so I posted it on my blog rather than clog up the comment space here. You can click my facebook link to see it if you want to vote for color choices, or you can wait until tomorrow and be surprised. I'm super excited to see what everybody else submits

And I'm suppose to do this digitally? :C
I'm screwed. -_-'

i think the reference to "No halftones, dot, line or other" could be rewritten "no computer-generated halftones, whether the halftones use dots or lines." so your design can be a line drawing, but it must include at least some noticeable hand-drawn hatching to indicate shading, and no computer-generated halftones of any pattern.

Elephant-squid is a scary thought. It kinda reminds me of Half-Life's bullsquid though..

The anatomy on your elephant squid looks kinda wonky to me though. He'd tip over with all that weight up front and nothing to counterbalance it. The bullsquid here, or something like a T-Rex has a very long thick tail and legs in the center mass to prevent that.

Black, Navy or Green?

Quick question... Do you even care that none of your gears make sense? I mean, there is good steam punk and poor steam punk. This sir is not steam punk, but rather slapping a few gears on a shirt and ride the pop wave.

Actually, I had a couple more layers of cogs, gears, a boiler, etc. that did connect more together, but they really (really) muddied up the design when it was time to try to add cross-hatching/shading/etc. At that point, I decided to drop the more complicated layers (which seemed to be the issue) in favor of a cleaner-looking design.

So yes, I realize they no longer make much sense, since the layers I took out were below the top layer (screwed on to the frame) and above the bottom layer (which, admittedly, wasn't all that functional).

Heh.. forgot about the Bullsquid... (can't wait to play Black Mesa!!!)

As for anatomy issues.... The guys got MEAN stomach mussels... GET IT!?;)

sorry... (I'll think on altering that... but... I love the tail as is so... we'll see)
